But, gg will say that they can discourage physical gold and silver investments by taxing them more. But gg bought early and held. When she sells, it doesn’t matter the tax. She still makes more profit and will keep capital than any other investment class. A change in tax may only influence a little when she starts to sell, but it will influence nothing else about her precious metals investment plan.

There was some talk about this before the Euro Crisis became front and center and now they are talking about it again. One of two things will happen: Germany will demand their gold, not get it, and the world will know the real gold story. Or this will be quietly swept under the rug and Germany will get even more unlimited money from the NYFed/Fed for their bailout of Europe.

But gg thought gold was not money?

Regardless of the outcome, this is a test of confidence in trust in the NYFed’s vault, US as a financial leader, and the US Dollar. It is one thing for Venezuela to ask for their gold, it is another for the only legit creditor in Europe to ask for theirs back.
